Opportunity: SCAR Fellowship Reviewers

Contact Name and information: [email protected]

Further details:

SCAR offers a number of Fellowship opportunities to all career levels within the Antarctic research community. The number of applications submitted for the yearly SCAR Fellowships is steadily growing, leading to a need for an increase in the number of reviewers SCAR can call upon for help.

SCAR is looking for mid- to late-career researchers who would be able to volunteer a few hours of time in the autumn to help review 3-5 SCAR Fellowship applications.

Fellowship applications are closed in August/September every year and are reviewed the following months with the aim to announce the successful applicants by November/December of the same year.

Reviewers should have some prior experience of working with SCAR – for example, by being a member of a SCAR group. It would be helpful if reviewers had prior experience in reviewing Fellowship applications. This does not have to be SCAR Fellowships, but could be those from the wider Antarctic community, such as the IAATO, CCAMLR, or COMNAP Fellowships.
